Introduction

Coupon Broga was announced in PreBlast ~ leveled with PAX it was more marketing ploy, but also there as “yoga block” to aid the inflexible.  Moonlight astutely noted, however, that coupons probably there just in case people jogged by and PAX needed to keep up the F3 cred!

Warm-O-Rama

Warm-O-Rama was stretch series: neck stretch, quad stretch, toe touch, hip hinge, back twist (Yes! We seriously did stretches before yoga.)

Circle of Trust

Do Your Best, Leave the Rest

Point of that saying to – try. YHC been working on yoga since F3 brothers Faceplant and Patchouli shared at their Qs.  Stretching / flexibility is critical to fitness, and so I’ve done more yoga outside F3 and led some exercises to get the “flow” down.  Finally got comfortable enough to lead.

Sub-point – alright if you don’t succeed, but try again.  Flexibility isn’t instant.  Practice, work at it.  It will improve over time.  Same principle applies to everything.

Prayers for Cupcake’s niece.

Naked Man Moleskin

No one broke wind – YHC knows someone reading this had that question in their mind.  Perhaps not, and YHC is just the one with the adolescent mind that never developed beyond the timeless humor of fart jokes.  Doubt it, otherwise HotBox would have another name, eh?  For the record, HotBox was there and flowing quite well.

While on the theme . . . Moonlight and Waterfall educated us on the colorectal benefits of Deep Squats and the poor ergonomic design of American toilets.  Corningstone was not rattled by the pooper-chatter, and was locked into his Broga – nice job!  Dabo, Mia Hamm & Cupcake were flowing and even had time to chatter.  Riunite and Bootlegger, however, were oddly silent ~ YHC thinks they were waiting for me to spring some BS exercises like Blockees into the mix (maybe they couldn’t believe YHC was leading a yoga Q).

Thanks to Twinning and Townie for a back-to-back following my 3/4 Q at DarkTower.  Special shout out again to Twinning for designing the Noonan logo, which I still need to get onto a coupon (when I do, he’s getting one).

Mixed emotions on Patchouli (F3 Brogi)  not being there – one part, glad as he might have freaked at my call-outs and form; other part, wished I could have demonstrated my appreciation for all the Broga he’s brought to F3.
